Once In A Blue Moon

Marlene | January 7, 2010

It’s been years ago when I heard this phrase.  My aunties had used this like a hundred times when I was little.  Yet, I never dared ask if there was literally a blue moon as I’ve had never seen one.  It seemed like a myth that passed on from mouth to mouth without any proof [...]
